Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing

The series Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) reports state-of-the-art results in areas related to business information systems and industrial application software development – timely, at a high level, and in both printed and electronic form.

Volumes may be: proceedings, published in time for the respective event; postproceedings, consisting of thoroughly revised and/or extended final papers; other edited monographs, e.g., project reports or invited volumes; tutorials, coherently integrated collections of lectures given at advanced courses, seminars, schools; or award-winning or exceptional theses.

Proposals

A conference or workshop applying for publication in LNBIP should have an international program committee, a coherent subject scope limited to related computer science topics, and an appropriate plan for reviewing the submitted papers. To submit a proposal to LNBIP please contact lnbip@springer.com.

Publishing Service

LNBIP offers a full publishing service, including typesetting of papers, making most content available in PDF, HTML, print, and ePub formats. Authors can embed videos in their content, or add electronic supplementary material to be made available in our digital library (SpringerLink).

Open Access

Conference organisers may opt for gold open access of all content in proceedings volumes. Alternatively individual author teams may select gold open access for their proceedings papers. Please contact lnbip@springer.com to enquire about terms.

Indexing and Distribution

LNBIP submits the content and bibliographic metadata of proceedings volumes to the major abstracting and indexing services, including the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI, part of Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science), DBLP, Scopus, the EI Engineering (Compendex, Inspec), the ACM Digital Library, and Google Scholar. In addition to the indexing services listed above, Springer Nature content is available worldwide through key university and industry library subscription access, and through major distributors such as Amazon and Google Books.

SharedIt

Springer Nature can make shareable links to online PDFs of published proceedings papers available to authors. This encourages reading by users who otherwise don't have subscription access (for example, via a university library). These shareable links can be communicated via social channels, on institutional repositories, on author websites, or on scholarly collaborative networks.

Overleaf

The LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates are available in the scientific authoring platform Overleaf.

Other Benefits of Publishing

By default, conference organisers and authors are not charged for publishing in LNBIP. Organisers and participants get free online access to the SpringerLink-published papers for 4 weeks during and following the conference. LNBIP offers readers transparent reviewing data about all published volumes. Authors retain copyright to their papers and authors can self-archive their submitted papers. For more information on publishing service and conditions, please contact lnbip@springer.com. 

Publishing Policies

We require volume editors (conference organisers), authors of proceedings papers, and reviewers engaged to evaluate papers submitted to conferences to follow our publishing policies and respective codes of conduct (https://www.springernature.com/gp/policies/book-publishing-policies).
